Button Flower Bouquet

Winter flurries call for some flowers

created out of buttons.

The purple "flowers" are a DIY with cornstarch

and baking soda clay painted purple.

We shall see how durable they are, but

for now, it works.

PDF Pattern Creating - A Friend Loves At All Times

I've begun the process of creating PDF patterns

from some of my more

popular designs of Quilted Wall Art.

This 16 inch X 10 inch composition

is quick enough to create this weekend

as a thoughtful and meaningful gift

for someone special.

Batik fabrics are my choice although it would be

nice in other fabrics as well. Stay tuned.

Hope & Time

After receiving an invitation to a Vision Board Party

and an inquiring as to my "word" for this year,

I began to pray about a particular word for 2015,

something I've not done previously.

I felt 2 words rise in my spirit, Hope and Time.
Magazine photos, page from hymnal and Watch face mounted
onto a re-purposed book jacket.

This was a fun project with fun people

and this resulting Vision Board will reside in my studio

to remind me to have HOPE

and that God is Perfect TIMEing.

Fabric Pyramid Class Project

While visiting recently, my grand daughter mentioned her class project

of creating a pyramid and the ideas she already had.

I suggested a fabric pyramid and she excitedly headed for my scrap bag.

She traced the shape her dad had created onto fusible stabilizer,

choose fun fabrics, ironed them, then while in my lap, machine quilted her creation.

She/We were delighted with the end result.

Blueberry Twig Inspiration For Rust Dyed Quilted Art

I'm auditioning a Blueberry Twig for a possible

hand embroidered twig shape to complete this piece.

Hand rust dyed fabrics, hand applique and embroidery,

machine quilted.

Thoughts as to title, and if the twig design adds or overpowers??

Cranes & Red Circles - Soul Collage Card

As part of a Soul Collage Workshop, instructions were given to look through magazines seeking either an animal or person that stood out to us. I chose these 2 cranes. Next came thought provoking questions as to why we chose this photo. Onward to choose a background. I originally thought to piece a background together until I came across this one of layered red and white fabrics.More thought provoking questions and finally adhering the creation to a card.

"I am one who is a leader that seeks to gracefully look up in hope and in community

calling out for truth.

I have courage to go forth remembering that simplicity is good.

I will stay committed that this is possible and will be reminded when I see red circles"
